Also, thank you to those of you who subscribed, upvoted and commented!

The relentless chirping of birds automatically caused Luhan's face to scrunch up into a frown. He unwillingly open his heavy lidded eyes and immediately regretted doing so. Groaning, he squinted as the blinding rays of sun filtered through the curtains. After giving his eyes the time to adjust themselves, his surroundings became more clear.

Two feet from where he was situated stood a 50 by 50 inch flat screen TV, a high definition stereo system, a Wii, play station and XBOX systems. The living room was comparable to that of a miniature theatre room. What people would normally deem their dream room, though spacious and tidy, to Luhan it emitted a feeling of loneliness. The new leather couch that he'd been sleeping on was too hard for his comfort; but it was either that or sharing the only available room with Sehun. It was a no brainer.

It had been about a month since their wedding night and with regards to their relationship, there's still been zero improvements.

There was no mention or confrontation about the events of that night. Luhan pretended as though nothing happened even though the memories would still linger and resurface in his mind. He was relieved, thankful even, when it seemed that Sehun had absolutely no recollection at all.

Suddenly, the flashing screen of his phone effectively caught his attention. He reached out to grab it off the elongated coffee table in front of him. It was a notification to remind himself that today was Sehun's birthday.

5:14 AM, Luhan decided it was time to start making breakfast. He stiffly got up off the couch and stretched out his sore limbs before trudging his way to the kitchen. He'd already known what to cook for Sehun and even prepared the ingredients he'd use the day before. Sehun would be leaving for work at seven and the brunette would need all the time he could get.

As Sehun descended the staircase, a sweet and delicious aroma wafted into his nostrils. The familiar scent hit him with a wave of nostalgia.

"Wow mama, that smells so yummy!" Seven year old Sehun exclaimed, running into the kitchen.

Mayan's lips upturned seeing the excitement on her son's face. She grabbed the steaming plate and gestured for him to follow her. "Try it, it's a new recipe I learned. But be careful, it's still hot." She didn't forget to caution him.

With a fork, Sehun took a tiny bite. Normally, he would cringe at the taste of vegetables, but this dish was different. The vegetables and meat were mixed in perfect proportions. And the soup that poured into his mouth as he bit into it made it even more enjoyable. "I love it mama!" His eyes gleamed in delight.

Hearing his answer, she had been overjoyed. "I'm glad Hunnie. Happy birthday baby." She pulled him in close and planted a kiss to the crown of his head.

And since that day until the age of 15, he's always had vegetable pork dumplings on his birthday. But he hadn't eaten his mother's dumplings in years, much less smelt them. Sehun's heart began racing. It was impossible, however, the smell was unmistakable.

"O-oh Sehun, happy birthday!" A startled Luhan greeted upon seeing the black haired male.

Only then had he noticed he'd subconsciously stumbled into the dining room.

Reverting back to reality, Sehun's hopes were doused the minute he heard Luhan's voice. His eyebrows furrowed, a glare glazed over his eyes as he angrily balled his hands into fists.

"Sehun?" Luhan called him again, though he shouldn't have bothered because even if the said male had heard him, there was a slim chance he'd receive a response. "Breakfast is-"

Without waiting for Luhan to finish his sentence or sparing a glance in his direction, Sehun slammed the door on his way out.

"Happy birthday baby! Muah!" Jocelyn giggled into the receiver.

The couple had resolved their problems and were once again on loving terms. The spare time Sehun was supposed to spend with Luhan was instead being spent with Jocelyn. She eventually forgave him after seeing how much effort he was putting into their relationship.

A smile automatically stretched out across Seh
